A touch light-emitting module and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The touch light-emitting module includes a printed circuit board and a touch-control conductor. The printed circuit board has a top surface on which a touch-control IC and a luminous unit that is electrically connected are disposed. The touch-control conductor includes a hollowed portion. The touch-control conductor is coated, on the bottom thereof, with a conductive material to combine with the top surface of the printed circuit board, so that the touch-control IC and the luminous unit are located in the hollowed portion. An encapsulation resin is then injected into a space between the printed circuit board and the hollowed portion to complete encapsulation. As such, the present invention offers a simplified structure to achieve an effect of minimization, and also simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the working time to thereby enhance the yield.

A color filter substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A plurality of grating structures, a sensor unit and a switch unit are integrated on the color filter substrate. As such, in addition to an original light-filtering function, the color filter substrate is given functions of polarizing light rays and sensing light rays.

An inexpensive display device with a narrow bezel is provided. The display device includes a first pixel including a light-emitting device, a second pixel including a light-receiving device, and a reading circuit for reading data obtained by the second pixel. The reading circuit includes a first circuit included in a mounted IC chip and a second circuit monolithically formed over a substrate over which a pixel circuit is formed. With this structure, a circuit corresponding to the second circuit can be omitted from the IC chip, so that the IC chip can be downsized.
